OKLAHOMA CITY -
Gloomy weather and scattered showers didn t stop Oklahoma City Public Schools from celebrating their Indigenous seniors with a parade.
The district teamed up with Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City to put on the special event after a tough year, while celebrating their heritage.
“Cultural pride is something that resonates within each student, gives them confidence, makes them proud of who they are. They are also tribal citizens, so they belong to an entire separate tribal sovereign nation,” said Dr. Star Yellowfish, the Director of Native American Student Services.
Usually, NASS puts on a banquet, but COVID-19 made them rethink of a way to celebrate their graduates.
